I like that idea, Sapphire. But which '7' criteria are you referring to?
Also, my piece has just now (as of the last hour and a half or so) become the most dissonant thing I've written to date. It's intelligent dissonance, as I like to call it, being all harmonies are based on a motivic chord, comprising a major chord and the minor chord a minor third above it (E major and g minor for example), and not at all random dissonance for the sake of dissonance. But I'm still hesitant to enter it into the competition. I want to submit the piece for the choral reading here at my school, and the deadline is Nov 30th, so I have more time for the piece in that regards. Who knows - I may or may not submit it here. I may not know until very late. But, obviously, if I do submit my piece in the end, I would not be able to break any ties!
Anywho, let's hear more suggestions!
